Michael Mudgett, LPC

Michael Mudgett is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping adults who are worried about relationships, jealousy, anxiety, or major life changes. He speaks plainly and creates a calm space where people can talk about what is hard for them. Michael aims to help clients improve communication and rebuild connection with others.

He draws on nearly two decades of practice in Michigan to guide conversations about grief, addiction, trauma, and low self-esteem. Sessions often include straightforward skills for listening, setting boundaries, and managing strong emotions. Michael also supports people coping with career stress, parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, and compassion fatigue.

In therapy he blends several approaches to match a person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Client-centered techniques prioritize the person’s goals and pace. Emotion-focused work looks at how feelings shape relationships.

Michael describes his style as warm and interactive. He teaches listening and communication skills and helps people notice their role in recurring conflicts. He also brings an interest in spiritual questions for those who want that included in sessions.

People connect with him to work through infidelity, abandonment, loneliness, body image worries, and other intimacy-related concerns. He offers practical tools, steady guidance, and time to practice new ways of relating and coping.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice the thoughts and feelings that get in the way of living the life they value. It uses simple exercises to clarify what matters and to build small, meaningful actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviors and then trying new strategies to change those patterns. It often involves short practice tasks between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on how emotions shape relationships and communication, which can help when jealousy or intimacy issues are present.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michael will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet.

Before starting online therapy, confirm the current session options, scheduling arrangements, and fees. Discuss what will help you take part comfortably and how to fit appointments around everyday commitments. Agree on the next steps with the therapist so you know what to expect.
